WILL IT PROHIBIT?
The advocates of this bill say that when
enacted into law it will decrease saloons,
lessen the amount sold and be q step toward
prohibition. For arguments s sake grant that
it will decrease the number of saloons; unless
1t can be shown that it will decrease the
amount drank and the number OF drinkers.
morality has gained nothing. 1t will raise the
price and reduce the quality of the liquor sold;
the additional TAX will come out OF the con-
sumer in any case, and it will offer greater
premium to the evasion of the law by selling
on SUNDAYS and legal holidays, by selling to
minors and habitual drunkards-for the seller
will endeayor to get his money back by in
creasing his sales. l have word to say to
those who advance the reason that it is a step
toward prohibition The prohibitionist does
not say SO. Mr.. Satteriee voices the senti-
ments Of the prohibitioniSts when he says,
"Prohinitory laws-uumiXed with partial con-
sent TO the crime-are the only laws inforced
on this question:.
TEMpORIZE WITH YOUR CONSCIENCE.
But you are asked to modify this legal
consent by charging u higher price for the
privilege. You might as well argue that
Judas did very wicked thing by betraying
his Savior for thirty pieces of silver; but it
would have been 4 very different thing il he
had received five hundred. No, gentlemen,
in the words of an able advocate '.temporze
with your conscience" but you wont be md Of
the Prohibition party. If you arc in favor
of prohibition, there is only one way 10
accomplish it-prohibit. Those of US who
take our political principles from the code OF
Jefferson and Jackson do not believe
in prohibitory legislation. We regard
it as an unlawful interfeI ence with
our personal liberties, guaranteed by magma
charta-the BID of rights of our immortal
Declaration OF Independence. The revenue
side is as devoid of merit as the moral side,
for no industry-and by legeiizing it you
make it an industry-should be overtaxed to
the violation of the laws Of equity.
Mr.. President, am compelled TO vote no
on the bill ID its present form.

ITALY'S TROUBLE.

ROME, Feb. 4.-The debate on the credit
of 5, 200, 600 francs asked for by the govern
ment for the sending of reinforcements to the
Soudan was resumed in the chamber of dep
uties to-day. Count Drobilant, minister
of foreign affairs, urged that whatever
might be the Italian position at Massowah,
the country ought to consider it an
episode of secondary Importance,
and that the action of Italy in
European affairs should be in nowise ham
pered. He further said that the cabinet
would not accept vote unless it implied
full confidence in the government. Sgnor
Bondini moved that the house pass to
the order of the day, whereupon Premier
Derets announced that if the motion was
adopted the government would resign. The
motion was rejected 215 to 191, and the
credit bill was afterward passed by secret
ballot, the vote being 317 to IL.

"ovERDRAwN PICTURE

of the English occupation of Egypt He
said the occupation was initiated at the in
stance and under the mandate Of Europe to
prevent Egypt from falling to pieces on ac-
count OF intestine troubles. The govern
ment, he declared, were doing what they
could to reduce the force in Egypt. and it
would shortly be limited to 200 men. Mr.
Caine, Radical, argued that the Europeans
who get the most out of Egypt ought to
bear the chief burden of taxation. If liquor
shops were allowed to carry on business
they ought to be heavily taxed. England
ought to ask the powers to consent to a
proper system of taxation for ruling the
country, and it they refused she should
evacuate and leave Egypt to itself. Hon.
w. H. Smith defended the governments
policy. He said the evacuation of Egypt
by England would throw that country into
a state of anarchy. Mr. Cremers amend.
ment was rejected by a vote of 263 to 81.
Mr.. Parnell adjourned the debate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The latest can
didate for one of the interstate commission
erships is no less than Tom Nichol, Gar
fields Indian commissioner. He is backed
by John Sherman and Congressman
Grosvenor and others of the Garfield ele-
ment in Ohio. Nichol is a singed cat in
appearance, and takes keen delight in sur
prising people who judge him by his looks
with copiOus draughtS of information from
his almost inexhauStibIe we'll of facts. In
the campaign of 1880. Nichol was a sort of
Lamont behind the throne, and the good
things he declined to accept are said to
have been numerous. He gained his first
prominence in politics in Wisconsin in
1878, when the Greenback sentiment ran
high. He was then on the road selling
plows, and one night at Racine he heard
Robert Schilling, the anarchist, talk Oh
Greenbacks. What was said so enraged
him that he hired a hall on his own account
and billed the Town for speech on money.
He had full house and made a telling
argument. The news of it coming to the
ears of Horace Rublee. then chairman of
the Republican state committee, and Nichol
was forthwith retained for the whole cam
pagn. and was soon recognized as one of
the best stump speakers in the state. Had
he stayed III the state he wouiu have been

INTERSTATE COMMERCE. BILL.
The President Sig as the HIeasure.-
How'll Differs From the Plan of
Two Years Ago.

WO ears "A go.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The president
has signed the Interstate commerce bill.
The signing Of the interstate commerce
bill 0y the president was III full accord with
the opinion of Attorney General Garland
rendered to him On last Monday, and it is
we'll understood to be in accord with the
views of the cabinet. The attorney general
was asked tonight to give his views in re-
gard to the bill and explain wherein it diff
fered from the senate bill of two years ago.
which he opposed on the ground that it
was unconstitutional He declined to do
so, saying that he regarded the opinions he
had given to the president on the sub
ject as strictly confidential. 1t is
learned, however, from trustworthy sources,
that the attorney general, as we'll as the
president. considers the bill which has just
become law free from all the material
features which were Objectionable in the
senate bill OF two years ago. According to
this information. the attorney generals OBJ
lection to the old bill was to the vast pow
ers of legislative and judicial character
that were given TO the commission. The
attorney general is said to hold that the
present bill does not confer judicial powers
on the commission but puts them in the
courts OH report from the commission. and
that it does not confer legislative power
except in the fourth section ithe long and
short haul clause, and that this is war
ranted by numberless precedents in the leg
iSlatiye history of the government.

Why the Baby Cries.

The young bachelor who volunteered
an opinion as to the reason for babv' s
smile, and the summary justice which
he received at the hands of the baby's
nurse, are well known, but why the
baby cries is a matter as to which few
men have any curiosity. provided it is
not too late to have an engagement
down town when the concert begins.
The Mothers Manuel of Children's 5
Diseases" explains the matter thus:
''Cries are the only language which
young baby has to express its distress,
as smiles and laughter and merry antics
tell without word its gladness. The
baby must be ill, is all that its cries tell
one person; another, who has seen
much of sick children, will gather from
them more, and will be able to Judge
whether its suffering is in the head,
chest or stomach. The cries of Il baby
with a stomach ache are long and loud
and passionate; it sheds profusion of
tears; now stops moment, and then
begins again. drawing up its legs to its
stomach; and as the pain passes of,
stretches them out again, and with
many little sobs passes oil into quiet
sleep. If it has inflammation OF the chest
it does not cry loud, it sheds no tears,
but every few minutes, especially after
drawing deeper breath than before, or
after each short. hacking cough, it gives
little cry. which it checks, apparently,
before it has half finished. and this, be-
cause it has no breath to waste in cries,
or because the effort makes its breathing
more painful. If disease is going on
in the head, the child utters sharp,
piercing shrieks, and then between
whiles low moan or wall, or perhaps
no sound at all, but lies quiet, apparent
ly DOING, till pain wakes it up again"

Do Birds Fly Down.

1 see, in n back number of st. Nicto.
las, that one of youryotlng correspond
ents appeals partly to me in regard to
birds flying down. But all who have
written seem so we'll posted that
doubt if can add anything to their
knowledge.
However, 1 have seen California
quail, Il wood-doye, and hummino-
bird flying downward; but in slow flv-
ers. with large wings and heavy bodies,
the wings are used more or less as par
achutes in going down: in other words,
the birds spread their wings, and RELY
upon gravity. This l have noticed in
the sand hill cranes in their migrations
along the Sierra Madres. A flock, of
say a hundred, will mount upward in a
beautiful spiral, flashing in the sun
light, all the while uttering loud, dis
cordant notes, until they attain an alti-
tude of nearly q mile above the sea-
level. Then they form in regular lines,
and soar away at an angle that in five
miles, or SO. will bring them within one
thousand feet of the earth. Then they
will stop and begin the spiral upward
movement again until high elevation
is reached. when, away they go again
sliding downhill in the air. toward their
winter home. 1t is very evident that a
vast amount of muscular exertion is
saved in this way. In some of these
slides that have watched through a
glass. birds would pass from three to
four miles, should judge. without flap

Throwing Passengers Overheard.

The barbarous custom OF throwing
passengers overheard as soon as the
breath has left their bodies when they
die at sea on a transatlantic steamer
has nearly ran its course. Since our
statement that an ocean passenger
steamer is legally bound to deliver per-
sons who pay their passage in advance
at their port of destination, whether
they die or not, we have received assur-
ances that convince us that we are cor
rect. As caskets can be obtained in
which, body can be kept in fair
state of preservation two weeks with
out the use of ice, all European passen-
ger steamers should be compelled to
carry them. The relatives or friends
OF those who die at sea would gladly
pay the extra expense entailed in pre-
serving their bodies and returning
them to land for decent and Christian
burial--Nes0 York Marine journal.

Death OF Capt. Geo. II. Smith.
[Yicksburg Democrat

Our entire community was shocked
Saturday evening to learn of the sud
den death of Capt. Geo. II. Smith,
which sad event occurred at his late
residence on Grove street, a few min.
utes after 4 O'Clock.
Capt. Smith had been an invalid for
some time, but remained at his post
until last Monday, when he was forced
20 resign his position as clerk of the
steamer Phil Armour, position he
had held for considerably over a year.
No one, not even his family, thought
his end was so near, for only few
minutes before his death he conyersed
with his wife and family, and the
shock was SO great that 1t was indeed
hard for them to realize that he was
gone. lie was 80 years of age at the
time of his death, and had been resi-.
dent of the city since 1866.
